Job scam: Navy  alerts Nigerians over fake recruitment exercise

The Nigerian Navy said it has not begun enlistment into its Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC), contrary to advertisements by some ‘fake’ online portals.

Navy’s spokesperson, Ayo-Vaughan said this in a statement on Monday, September 11.

He said that the Navy has not announced any DSSC Enlistment Exercise 2023/2024 nor is the Service conducting any form of enlistment for its officer cadre.

The statement said: “For the avoidance of doubt, the NN will usually notify the public through its official website www.nigeriannavy.mil.ng and other credible verifiable platforms including mainstream media for the advertisement of such Enlistment Exercise.

“In addition, contrary to the false statement provided by the unscrupulous swindlers regarding the non – non-disclosure of the opening and closing dates of the Exercise, the NN will always provide details and phases of the entire Exercise when publicized.

“Accordingly, members of the public, especially would-be applicants are strongly advised to always verify information from the NN official website stated above and other official NN social media handles to avoid falling prey to fraudsters.”
